Nami Daanam Chi Manzil :- Amir Khusrau

Nami Daanam Chi Manzil by Tasawwuf on Vimeo

Sang by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

Here are Lyrics :-

Nami daanam chi manzil
bood shab jaay ki man boodam;

Baharsu raqs-e bismil
bood shab jaay ki man boodam.

Pari paikar nigaar-e sarw qadde laala rukhsare;
Sarapa aafat-e dil
bood shab jaay ki man boodam.

Khuda khud meer-e majlis
bood andar laamakan Khusrau;

Muhammad shamm-e mehfil
bood shab jaay ki man boodam.

And now the Translation:-

I wonder what was the place
where I was last night,

All around me were half-slaughtered victims of love,
tossing about in agony.

There was a nymph-like beloved with cypress-like form
and tulip-like face,
Ruthlessly playing havoc with the hearts of the lovers.

God himself was the master of ceremonies in that heavenly court,
oh Khusrau, where (the face of) the Prophet too was shedding light like a candle.

(trans. S.A.H.Abidi)
